Project Overview

Project Goal

Design a compact facial device combining cleansing and massage functions. Ensure ergonomic comfort, vibration performance, and manufacturable form within a minimal aesthetic.

About the Project

The Sonic Facial Brush is a compact skincare device combining daily cleansing and massage functions. High-frequency vibration is delivered through silicone bristles, with a flexible top for improved contour access and a contoured reverse surface for localized massage. The design prioritizes portability, ergonomic comfort, and efficient manufacturing.

Contribution and Key Challenges

Contribution

Contribution

  • Designed compact housing geometry to balance cost efficiency, aesthetics, and ergonomics

  • Developed wave-like ridge surface to deliver localized vibration and reinforce product identity

  • Created high-density bristle pattern aligned to complex surface curvature for visual precision and cleaning performance

  • Translated Illustrator bristle design into DWG format for seamless integration into SolidWorks CAD

Challenges

Challenges

  • Maintaining consistent bristle alignment while following complex surface curvature

  • Designing wave ridge geometry that delivers effective localized massage without adding cost

  • Achieving a visually minimal form that accommodates internal components and tooling constraints

  • Balancing aesthetic clarity with durability in multi-material construction
